We often see in planning applications a reference that details are to be agreed before commencement of works. I understand there is a default period. I am seeking in this amendment that when details are agreed, or deemed to be agreed due to the expiry of time, those details will be entered in the planning register. I have encountered situations where the conditions applying to a planning application are quite easily found. However, where details are to be agreed prior to commencement, it often is not easy to find those details or accurate information about them. It would be helpful if there were a requirement for the details to be entered in the planning register. I do not see that specifically stated in the Bill but I stand to be corrected.
